Boje, Ngam Return from Injury
Tuesday, February 3 2004
Spinner Nicky Boje and speedster Mfuneko Ngam have marked their successful returns from injury with selection in the South African touring party for New Zealand later this month.
Boje, who broke his leg in the NatWest one day series against England and Zimbabwe midway through last year, has been offered yet another chance to solve South Africa's problematic spin bowlers role.
Ngam, acknowledged as one of the fastest bowlers in world cricket, has been away from the international scene for the best part of 3 years with continued injury problems.
His return, as well as Andre Nel's emergence as a quality paceman, highlights the Proteas embarrassment of riches in the fast bowling stocks.
Morne van Wyk, a member of the ODI squad currently battling the West Indies, has been overlooked for both squads.
Uncapped all-rounder Albie Morkel has been named in both touring parties.
